I do a lot of hiding--chopping or pureeing things so they don't notice. Sometimes I can convince them to do celery/carrots, but I'm pretty sure that the amount of ranch they use for dipping negates any value! My new favorite veggie dish is steamed green beans that are tossed with olive oil and italian seasoned bread crumbs and canned arthichoke hearts, and baked for about 30 mins.

B will only eat those same 3 veggies, Laura! Well, he'll eat carrots and salad, too, and he thinks that potatoes count as veggies. But, I wish he'd eat mushrooms and broccoli and spinach and peppers and...but, he tells me, "I'm 38 years old, and I KNOW what I like!" I'm going to try REALLY hard to introduce our baby to lots more foods than what his daddy will eat! Ok, so it OBVIOUSLY runs in the family, at least with the men.

Broccoli, raw carrots, and spinach (and only if the spinach is "hidden" in something like lasagna or pizza.) He likes corn too, but we count it more as a starch than a veggie...
